Dipping Powder Manicure

What is a Dipping Powder Manicure? 

A dipping powder manicure (also known as SNS nails) is a long-lasting nail enhancement technique that combines coloured powder with a special adhesive to create durable, natural-looking nails without UV/LED light curing. Unlike acrylics or gel polish, the powder is "dipped" onto the nail for a lightweight yet strong finish that lasts 3-4 weeks with minimal chipping.

How It Works – Step by Step

1. Prep– Nails are cleaned, shaped, and buffed. Cuticles are pushed back.

2. Base Coat – A clear adhesive is applied (like a glue base).

3. Dipping – Nails are dipped into coloured powder (your chosen shade).

4. Excess Removal – Brush off loose powder; repeat for opacity.

5. Seal & Shine – A clear activator seals the powder, followed by a topcoat.

Key Benefits of Dipping Powder

• Long-Lasting– Stays pristine for 3-4 weeks (outlasts regular polish). 

• No UV Light Needed – Safer for skin vs. gel manicures. 

• Lightweight & Natural Feel – Thinner than acrylics, no heavy tips. 

• Strengthens Nails – Powder layers protect natural nails from breaks. 

• Wide Colour Range – From nudes to glitters (easy to match any style). 
  

Who Should Try It?

• Anyone wanting longer wear than regular polish. 

• Those with weak or brittle nails (the powder adds protection). 

• People avoiding UV exposure (no lamp required). 

• Brides, travellers, or busy professionals (low-maintenance).
